I. Introduction The development of new anticancer therapeutic agents is one of the fundamental goals in medicinal

chemistry. In recent years there has been a concerned search for the discovery and development of potent and

selective anticancer agents. The various derivatives of 1,3,4-oxadiazoles substituted with different groups

displayed wide spectrum of biological activities such as anti-inflammatory[1] , antimicrobial[2], analgesic[3]anti-

tuberculosis[4], anticancer[5, 6, 7, 8] properties. Author envisage that by introducing 5-phenyl thiophene moiety into the 1,3,4-oxadiazole[9] ring system(Fig. 1) would produce the synergetic effect and increases the water solubility

and total polar surface area. The synthetic chemistry involved converting suitably substituted aromatic acid into

corresponding ethyl ester 2a-e. Ethyl ester was further converted into carbohydrazide 3a-e. The carbohydrazides

were reacted with 5-phenyl thiophene[10, 11](5) and obtained novel Schiff base[12, 13] compounds 6a-e.The Schiff

base compounds were cyclized using chloramine-T[14] and obtained novel derivatives of 1,3,4-oxadiazole 7a-

e(Fig. 1).The key intermediate 5-phenyl thiophene carbohydrazide(5) and 1,3,4-oxadiazole and related

compounds have been described as useful building blocks for the synthesis of various heterocyclic rings. A

series of 5-phenylthiophene of 1,3,4-oxadiazole[15]derivatives7a-e(Fig. 1)have been synthesized and tested their

cytotoxicity on human cancer cell lines[. Notably, the halogen substitutions were incorporated to improve the

solubility of the compounds. Author envisaged that by making Schiff base compounds of various halogens

substituted aromaticcarbohydrazides with 5-phenylthiophene moiety and cyclizing the Schiff base[16] compounds using chloramine-T as promoter improves the total polar surface area and increases the water

solubility. All the final compounds were characterized by spectral (1H-NMR, 13CNMR, MS and elemental)

analyses. Thus it was of interest to implement drug design and to synthesise the novel candidates by joining the

5-phenyl thiophene with different halogen substituted aromatic carbohydrazides and obtained novel derivatives

of 1,3,4-oxadiazoles.

III. Cytotoxic Evaluation (Table 1): 3.1.1 Cell Lines fixation and Culture Conditions:

The in vitro anti-proliferative study was carried out on three human cancer cell lines namely HepG2,

Caco-2 and PANC-1. The cell lines were grown in DMEM-HG supplemented with 10% heat-inactivated FBS,

2% Penicillin-Streptomycin and 2.5 μg/mL Amphotericin-B solutions (All from HI Media Labs, Mumbai,

India). Cell lines were incubated at 37°C in a humidified atmosphere of 95% air, 5% CO2. Following 24-48 hrs of incubation period, the adherent cells were detached using Trypsin-EDTA solution (HI Media Labs, Mumbai,

India). Cell count was done using the Luna automated cell counter (Logos Biosystems, India) based on trypan

blue dye exclusion method. Cytotoxicity of the novel 1, 3, 4-oxadiazoles have been determined using MTT 3-(4,

5-Dimethylthiazol-2-yl)-2, 5-diphenyltetrazolium bromide) assay.

3.1.2 Cell Viability Assay (MTT Assay): The MTT assay was carried out at Genelon Institute of Life Sciences

Pvt. Ltd. 200μL cell suspension was seeded in 96-well microplates (Corning®, USA) at a density of 25,000

cells/well and incubated for 24hrs, all cells were seeded in duplicate with novel compounds 7a-e having range

of concentrations from 50µM-500µM, incubated in a CO2 incubator at 37°C. Treated cells were thereafter

incubated with 10% MTT (5mg/ml; HI Media Labs, Mumbai, India) for 3 hrs.The culture medium was then

aspirated and 200μL dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO; Sigma-Aldrich, India) was added. 5-Fluoro uracil (5-FU) was used as standard. Cell viability was determined by measuring the absorbance on a micro plate reader

(SPECTRO STAR NANO, BMG LABTECH, Germany) at 570nm. Cell viability was calculated using the

formula [% cell viability = (A570 of treated cells / A570 of control cells) ×100%].

IV. Results And Discussions: 4.1 Chemistry (Scheme 1):In the present work novel derivatives of 1, 3, 4-oxadiazoles 7a-e were synthesized,

characterized and evaluated for their cytotoxicity against HepG2, Caco-2 and PANC-1 cell lines. Synthetic

chemistry involved the conversion of substituted acids into corresponding ester 2a-e. The ester compound was

further converted into corresponding carbohydrazide (IR absorbance of NH 3345 cm-1) 3a-e. The carbohydrazide 3a-e was reacted with 5-phenylthiophene carboxaldehde and obtained Schiff base[17] compounds

6a-e. The Schiff base compounds were cyclized in presence of chloramine–T as promoter and obtained the

novel series of 1,3,4-oxadiazoles 7a-e. The synthesized novel derivatives of 1,3,4-oxadiazole compounds were

evaluated for their cytotoxicity[17, 18] against HepG2, Caco-2 and PANC-1 cell lines using MTT assay.

4.2 b) Anticancer activity (Table 1): The synthesized compounds were screened for in vitro anticancer activity

against three human cancer cell lines[18, 19] namely, HepG2, Caco-2 and PANC-1. The results were expressed in

the form of IC50 (Inhibitory concentration of the compound at 50%). The 5-fluorouracill was used as a standard. The compound (7b) (Fig. 2)showed cytotoxicityagainst human colorectal carcinoma cell line (Caco-2) with IC50

of 5.3µM which is comparable to that of know standard 5-fluorouracil. The compound 7(e) (Fig. 3) showed

moderatecytotoxicity[20] against HepG2 cell line with IC50 of 28.4µM.

V. Conclusion: The cytotoxicity of the synthesized 1,3,4-oxadiazole compounds 7a-e were compared with the

cytotoxicity of the known standard, 5-fluorouracil.Cytotoxicity of the compound 7b (Fig. 2)against Caco-2cell

line with IC50 of 5.3µM which is comparable with the cytotoxicity of the known standard 5-fluorouracil. The

compound 7e (Fig. 3) showed moderate cytotoxicity against HepG2 cell line whose IC50 value is 28.4µM. The authors are interested to study the various biological activities and apoptosis mechanism in their further

research.
